Assignment #4 RSS Feeds

http://www.bloglines.com/myblog

I had a lot of fun with this assignment--especially in the beginning. Some of the websites I usually read do not have any feeds; that was a surprise. However, I was pleased to find several feeds that I did want to add to my blog.

I became frustrated and disappointed that many URL Feeds which should take me directly to the site seem "broken." The information is given, but not in a format I would consider readable. I am keeping these URL's, so others can see what I am unhappy about. Why does this happen?

I have found some feeds that are perfect too. It was exciting to find School Library Journal feeds. After I finish this project, I do believe I will try to get these feeds on my email at school.

I like the search engine for feeds--very quick and useful.

Here are my feeds that I believe are "broken:"
NOTE: I have discovered now (upon revisiting this site)these feeds are working; they were not when I added them to my blog. ??????????
